Mihono Bourbon (Japanese:ミホノブルボン; 25 April 1989 – 22 February 2017) was a Japanese thoroughbred racehorse. Mihono Bourbon was highly successful, winning seven of his eight races and putting up a major challenge for the Japanese Triple Crown in 1992, winning the first two races undefeated before finally losing to Rice Shower in the Kikuka-shō. Injuries curtailed Mihono Bourbon's career, and he did not race again after his three-year-old season. Due to his seemingly machine-like ability to handle slopes and maintain his position as a front-runner in races, he received the nicknames "Cyborg" and "Chestnut Super Express." Mihono Bourbon received multiple JRA awards, including being voted Japanese Horse of the Year in 1992 and the champion two-year-old and three-year-old colt in 1991 and 1992, respectively.
